Like bristles across a canvas
The mighty pen danced across the page
Spilling the alphabet as she went
The blank space her stage
She skipped here and there
Her ink pouring out emotion
She moved with much grace
As she waved like the ocean
A feather in the breeze
As she twirled and leapt
From one expression to the next
Stepping carefully as time slept
Trying not to disturb
Whispering so it was never woken
As she bled upon the paper
Saying what was never spoken
Pained and tired, still pressing on
As she glided across the surface
Blazing a trail for the others like her
Sure of her purpose
Painting a picture with only her essence
Adding color and scenery with only a letter
Her waltz a textual masterpiece
Hoping you never forget her

‘Trying not to disturb Whispering so it was never woken As she bled upon the paper Saying what was never spoken’ -this is so beautiful. And the ending, equally astounding. Very well done. In my humble opinion.
